Keystone Cops to Deals for Tots: Kids Ski Free this Season in Colorado

We told you recently about early booking savings at Keystone Resort. Now they've come out with additional money-saving packages letting kids ski free all season and letting moms and dads save a little dough.

To qualify, families must book a minimum three-night stay in any of the available 1,600 condos or hotel rooms, and children 12 and under can hit the slopes gratis. Officials there say this offer would save a family of four more than $200 on a four-day ski trip. It must be purchased in advance and does not require a minimum number of ski days.

Another current package, the Adventure Deal, lets you stay in a studio condos go for $102 and one-bedroom condos for $139, per person, per night. The price includes $300 worth of free activities on an Adventure Passport, including ice skiing, yoga class, wine tasting, and more. Condos used are located in a "gorgeous" mountain setting, a short, free bus ride from slopes, restaurants and nightlife.

The Family Package Deal, with two-bedroom condos starting at $135 per person, per night, or a two-bedroom condo starting at $205 per person, per night, in River Run Village, near the gondola, restaurants and shops. This deal includes the same $300 worth of activities on the Adventure Passport, including guided mountain tour, hockey clinic, figure skating clinic and cross-country rental and trail fee.

Both packages are available from November 26 through December 19, 2002 based on standard occupancy (two adults).

Keystone is just a 90-minute drive from Denver International Airport and has a variety of fun things to do, from skiing to snowshoeing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, snowmobiling and more, on nearly 2,000 acres of terrain. There are more than 30 on-resort restaurants and bars.
